MAYWOOD, N.J. -- Work on the Maywood Avenue streetscapes project has begun after months of planning, according to NorthJersey.com.

The goal of the project is to provide the business district on Maywood Avenue between Hunter Avenue and the train tracks a facelift that will include everything from new sidewalks and cobblestone curbing to benches and new street lights, said NorthJersey.com.

The upgrades will be paid for with a $150,000 grant, according to NorthJersey.com. The project will be undertaken in two phases, with Phase 1 including the area from Central Avenue to the train tracks and Phase 2 encompassing the area south of the train tracks, added NorthJersey.com.
